I know that with Republicans in the White House and now controlling Virginia we've had a pushback on every single political issue we've ever had to fight for. I love how you argue against an imaginary candidate. Why don't you try thinking of better solutions for the world?

I think a Latinx or Muslim woman would certainly be capable of the job, thinking about strictly the numbers involved. It would take less than you probably think. The tide will rise eventually.

That's why I said incredibly strong. The opposite of Trump, she can shoot from the hip on the can and make actual change (like obama promised.) She should give no fucks for the right wing.

Someone whose cross sectional diversity gives them a perspective of how to fix systemic issues of oppression, yes, they have a better shot than old white christian men.

> What the fuck is it going to take to make a real change?

An incredibly strong black woman in the White House.

and thank you to all involved, that's amazing!

Anyone in the Richmond region who believes they may have been the victim of illegal practices by a towing company based in Richmond can email towinginvestigation@rva.gov with details.

Police said some of those illegal practices could be:

Towing from unauthorized areas

Having been charged in excess of the maximum $135 for the initial tow

Having been charged in excess of the drop fee of $40 when the vehicle has been hooked but not yet towed away

Storage fees that accrued due to an illegal tow

I've always felt it was less about the shop and more about the artist. I would always recommend researching the artist thoroughly. I've seen good and bad come out of almost every shop, and sometimes it's just that the artist didn't quite fit with the piece's vision.

Then some people just hop on the Friday 13th tat train and ride it for fun. Guess it's about what you're after and the time, work and cost to get it. Some people have VERY long wait times.

In Virginia the governor can only one run one term at a time. He could be back and in a greater numbers but not consecutively

They problem with letting your dog piss on Jeff Davis' grave is, eventually they run out of piss.

I am quite sure the McDonald's in Shockoe bottom has been somebody's last meal.

I agree, just try getting through to any of them. If they hire through Richmond City, it may say hiring, but there literally is no human resources department. They may have left one or two people if I recall.

The real problem is money and job stress. Obviously anyone who wanted that job figured out how bad it sucked and wasn't worth it, otherwise it would be in demand. I would totally consider doing it if it wasn't so tied to police, and it paid well. It's a great way to serve the community, but the community has to take care of its people. Living wages keep people where they are qualified to be, in jobs they are good at and may minimally enjoy or find fulfillment in.

The best thing to petition for, if you get an audience, is higher wages, and not by a little bit.

boring

What are we gonna do? Call the city and complain?

They prolly can't even hire anyone right now, they cut the entire Human resources staff a few weeks ago.

The psychological trauma is immeasurable. I've had some acquaintances go in peppy and full of life, only to come out shell shocked after a short while.

Ummm... I cited my source, and it's consistent. We don't just cap existence at 10 year chunks, there are murders from 20,30+ years ago. You were right I was sleepy on the math, still adds up over time. Well if we presume murderers are coming in from outside the city (that's 'stupid,' most murders are committed by people the victim knew,) so if there are other cities in the US, it's safe to presume if all these people are also moving after they murder, an equal number are leaving their city and coming here after their murder.

I'm sorry, but yes, the city has countless unsolved murders, feel free to fact check how many unsolved murders have been in RVA over the past 50 years.

You keep saying 'assume,' and 'stupid,' yet you have not cited a single thing, it's all your uncomfortable cognitive dissonance over the city having murderers in it. Just don't piss people off is my advice.

well, let's say 50 a year go unsolved. Times that by 10 years, that's 50 murders unsolved. Math is easy on this one. Chances are, if you live in the city, someone you pass on your daily has killed someone.

Shootings are 3-4 times the amount that actually die, so in the people you pass everyday, there are 3-4 times the amount of people that have shot someone.

EDIT: Bad math, I was thining of the more than 100 murders we have per year, times 10. Thank you for the correction.

The cops checked out in 2020, they're not coming back anytime soon.

This is just RVA.

Half our murders (or so) go unsolved, every year. Which means there are 1000's of murderers in a city of 200,000. Obviously taking some liberties, but you get the idea.

The problem is you have to get a couple of hundred of your closest friends to go every night to keep a place open. We all see how hard it is to keep a business open in the city. Businesses go where there is a vacuum, but needs a consistent audience.

i'm not trying to be mean about it, it's been tried, and those are some of the real big reasons why. People from the country don't want to try to come into the city on a weekend night enough to keep a place open. It has been tried and failed quite a few times.

Plus they all swore never to come into Richmond again when we tore the monuments down, I would think they were sticking to that.

why do you think there might not be a country western bar in the middle of Richmond?

not enough room for the big white trucks, or red hats.

3 Lakes Park has them in abundance. A few were out last week.

That's interesting, do you feel it helps?

You've gotten most of your answer, but usually you can request through the prosecutor that you be notified of any change of status. In case you're worried about any kind of a repeat.

Playing Tetris is a great way to undo your mind if you get 'stuck in it' at any point. I'm so glad you're safe and OK.
